Air 3 and GPU performance on iOS

I was wondering what perfomance differences were being experianced on Air 3 GPU comparitavly vs. 2.7 (better or worse).  And, if adobe had mentioned that there 'should' be better performance expected, or the performance should remain the same as 2.7.
-dis

Though not IOS specific, this is from last weeks Q&A session:
226. darklite: I have been considering starting to build some apps using Flex/Flash for mobile but the last time I saw a flex app (air 2.6) running on a droid (evo) it was quite laggy (lag between views, animation were choppy). This was also the case with the tour de flex app using AIR 2.7.   Does AIR 3  address a lot of these performance issues?
* Greg Wilson: AIR 2.7 addressed a lot of those issues already – far better.  AIR 3 will go even further.  Def worth another look
Lots more questions were answered - and many weren't . Check out the transcript on flex.org.

  • Very poor CPU and GPU performance when disconnected from AC

    I've been looking for a similar topic here but after a while I didn't find anything similar.
    I know when the Macbook Pro is running just with the battery the performance and speed is lower than plugged to the AC, but in my case the difference is ridiculous. I can't use the Macbook Pro unplugged to do my work with apps like InDesign and Illustrator and I have a lot of trouble viewing mid to hi res videos.
    I've been running Xbench tests and when the AC is plugged, my results are:

    If you remove the battery and only run on MagSafe power then it will only use one CPU and you'd see a major drop in performance, but you're seeing this result with no power and battery only it's very strange.

  • AIR 2.6 performance on iOS devices

    When I first tried iOS packager it looked too raw and slow to use in real applications. But the technology was very promising and product was obviously far from release. A new version of AIR (2.6) was released recently and it is claimed that performance on iOS devices was improved. I downloaded new AIR SDK and repackaged sample iOS application. However, I wasn't able to detect any significant performance boost. In fact, application seemed to work even slower on iPad. What is weird, I could see some speed increase on iPhone 4. But neither execution performance on iPad, nor on iPhone is not even close to the execution speed of the same application (although packaged with AIR 2.5) on Android device (Galaxy Tab). I can imagine that Android packaging could work for me. But execution on iOS devices is definitely too slow so far. Btw, I use Flash Builder Burrito and Flash Hero SDK with new mobile flex components for the development.
    The question is, what is your experience with AIR 2.6 iOS packager? Any significant increase in performance? Are there any special steps required to turn on iOS performance optimization in builder or packager?
    I'm going to try AIR 2.6 Android packager next. Will post an update when done.

    sorr for the dupe, but i already posted this in the iOS packager forum:
    the one big  advantage with 2.6 publishing is, that the app behaves as it should when  it comes to moving objects performance slowdown.
    Before performance  would break down in strange ways if I inserted too many moving objects  in my sandbox. Now the framerate just goes down when raising  the  objects count.
    If you want, check out the video of my proto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE56XCG06FM
    Same principle as with FlashKevin. Just Sprites and scripting no timeline stuff, one enterframe thats handles all the object controllers. GPU accelerated.
    You absolutely have to use cacheAsBitmapMatrix or else Sprites/Bitmaps will look jaggy and performance just sucks bigtime. I am also setting cacheAsBitmap = true.
    I had some bad performance, when i packaged a project that ran fine with the old packager due to a stage scaling issue.
    Performance  on the ipad seemed to be really bad when publishing a iPhone project  without "stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE"  with 2.6.
    I am actually pretty happy with this release (at the moment).

  • Air 3.0 poor performance vs 2.7 on ios (user error?)

    I'm not sure what is goin on here, but when I published my app on 3.0 its just bogging down on the iPhone. Everything is going slower. It was running great in 2.7.  I've compiled builds via cmd line, and in flash 5.5 (with 3.0 overlay).  No difference.  Is anyone else running into this problem?  I'm rendering in gpu mode, and the app was running considerably faster in 2.7. 
    Any insight on what I could be doing wrong is appreciated.
    -dis

    Throwing the stage quality down to low did increase the overall performance at the cost of the quality of some of the graphics.  But, the overall issues is still prevalent, which is the general slow down of the application in instances where there was no slowdown previously. 
    The areas that are effected most are any place I do a timeline tween (scale, move, etc) of a bitmap.  But, that said the slow down seems prevalent through just about everything to varying degrees. The number of sprites I can now have on screen seeems reduced greatly as well. I'm definately taking a GPU performance hit pretty hard in AIR 3.0.
    My hope is this is still an error on my end. And I'm doign something wonky in my own code. I suppose if more people chime in one way or another it will help define the problem.

  • GPU/CPU Temps and Graphics Performance Questions

    I am also experiencing some similar oddities with my 15in UMBP. As background on my setup I am running 10.5.7 (the problem began before the update) and I work in an air-conditioned office with a cooling pad for my frequently "toasty" MBP. I have noticed that my temps are significantly higher while running on the NVIDIA 9600M GT vs. the 9400M, and also I use iStat to monitor my system.
    Here's the problems. With only Mail, iChat, Safari 4, and iTunes running (87-93% idle) I frequently see temps hit 150-155 F for the GPU 145-150 F for the CPU. While running on the 9400 with the same applications (87-92% idle) I see temps from 90-95 F for both GPU and CPU. When I had first gotten my MBP I used it mostly with Aperture 2 and I thought it was strange that I couldn't tell the difference in performance between the 9600 and the 9400. Later I tried to use it from time to time in Win XP (bootcamp) for gaming, but it would get so hot that i could hardly touch the keyboard and the graphics performance wasn't nearly what i thought it should be. In fact I was only able to run games slightly better than on my company provided Dell Inspiron D620 (old POS). On the Mac side I tried to test out the performance of my GPU by setting the graphics in X-plane just to the point that with the 9600M GT enabled the program wouldn't tell me that I had too many graphics options turned on. After getting that dialed in I switched over to try it with the 9400 and the performance was nearly identical, and maybe even a little better... I'm not a genius when it comes to computers by any means. I don't know very much about what kind of performance I should be seeing from these two cards, but I would think that the 9600 would greatly out perform the 9400.
    Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated

    I used istat pro to get the temperatures and fan speeds. You can download it free here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    I turned it on a few hours ago and the temperature of one of the cores reached 70 degrees C and the fan speeds all went up to around 3000 rpm. I'm just going to leave it off for now and take it in to get serviced. Only problem is I have to make an appointment and who knows how long it will take to get it in. Hope it works out for you.

  • TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

    I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • I performed the ios 6. something update to my iphone4s and have lost all my contacts...is there any way to retrieve those?

    I performed the ios 6 update to my iphone 4s and have lost all of my contacts.  How do I get them back? does this have anything to do with icloud?

    Yes of corse they is, using the cloud or plug in to your PC and connect to iTunes and you'll be able to sync your items back

  • MSI GT70 0ND-219US Bios settings for fastest cpu, and maybe gpu performance?

    What is the best BIOS's settings (I have the unlocked BIOS)
    For overclock cpu on startup and GPU

    Honestly? Stock. There's little to no performance gain overall for the CPU.
    You can't change the GPU performance from the BIOS.
    If you're asking these types of questions, you're probably better off not changing anything without doing a TON of research first. There's plenty of website out there that detail what you can do, and why, and how it really isn't very effective (especially in the mobile space) just because you can't increase it as much as you can on the desktop space (in some cases).
    Unless you have upgraded the CPU from the 3610 that was originally installed in your laptop, overclocking is really pointless.

  • MSI GS60 Ghost Pro Golden Edition - A Combination of Stylish and High Performance.

     I have no idea who can say no to this shining and charming beauty....
    The BackStory
        When I studied at graduate school, I bought my first laptop, Asus F3J, of my life and brought it to school everyday. Actually it was a 2.9kg around laptop for gaming and I felt like carry a heavy brick. It was quite inconvient and kind of suffer for a person like me who was not doing fitness. After I graduated from school and was being a member of society, I decided to find a  laptop that was much lighter and easier to bright to work. Toshiba R830 was what I chose, but this time, the performance of playing some hardcore game wasn’t good enough since it doesn’t have a discrete graphics card.
    I started to believe there is a trade off between perforamnce and weight of laptop with these two experience. Until one day, I came across with MSI GS60 Ghost Pro at Computex 2014, it was a notebook weigh just around 2kg and uncompromising with high performance. In more detail, It had core I7 CPU、High-end GTX graphics card and two 256MB SSD within it. From that day, I know it is the notebook am looking for, it is a note book I can bring to work and also play game at home. Furthermore, MSI is going to issue the limited Golden edition of it around the end of year, it gave me one more reason to buy this “good stuff”, because both me and my girl think gold is the most fashion color in recent year, just like iphone. So that is the backstory, now i just have the golden one and is going to unbox it for you.
    The Main Specification
    MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 2QE Golden Edition:
    •   CPU: Core i7-4710HQ (2.5GHz – 3.5GHz)
    •   OS: Windows 8.1
    •   Display: 15.6″ WQHD+, IPS (2880*1620)
    •   Memory Supplied: 16G 2*8GB DDR3L 1600
    •   Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX970M GDDR5 3GB
    •   Storage: 2 x 256GB M.2 SSD + 1TB 7200RPM HDD
    •   Wireless Lan: Killer 802.11 a/c
    The Unboxing
    It is a really big one, please do drive your car while buying this NB from the shop.
    Inside the main brown shipping box, there are MSI stylish back bag and the a black branded carry case.
    The back back is grey color with good material quality, it also a simple and fashion design which is suitable for young or stylish worker. The sense of touch is also good.
    There are several layers inside the bag, even more, a shock-absorbing laptop sleeve in it. What a surprise!!
    In the big black branded carry case. There are two black box, one is for accessory. One is for the main role “GS60” with sponge to protect it as you can see in the photo.
    Let see the accessory box first, a MSI gaming mouse、a MSI/SteelSeries Flux headset、a keyboard protector and a mouse pad.
    The mouse has red light shining on both side when it connect to the laptop. It’s really a gaiming stuff! We can also see the double braided cord that improved the durability.
    As “+” and “-“ these buttons in the middle of the mouse, user can adjust the sensity of the mouse instantly by these two bottons in the game. No need to waste your time finding the adjument UI within the game. It is such a good benefit for a gamer.
    The Flux headset has ear cushions with mesh-cloth material it let you feel comfortable when wear it. You also can find out the color of the shell beside the headset can be changed, one pair is MSI design in red color, the other one is pure black one.
    It also has a convenient design that the earmuff can be folded, in order to make the headset into a plat one and easy to put in your bag.
    The performance of the headset is high-end and highs that don’t get brittle. About the deep bass, it also quite stunning. Overall, it can make the music carry listener’s heart.
    It deserves you to put it on the top of your gaming headset list.
    Here we open another black box, the GS60 is packaging by the non-woven cloth.
    There are also the power adaptor、power cord and mini displayport to D-sub cable.
    By the way, the power adapter is 25.53 mm thick and 0.52kg. weigh, 19.5V and 7.7A output.
    Moreover, there are instruction manuals、several driver CDs and even two military dog tag with MSI logo, actually I am not a military lover, so I am going to use them as a key ring but not to hang on my neck.
    Finally, let us see a royal-like GS60 Ghost Pro Golden…
    Using Mg-Li alloy as the material, its chasis gains the advantage of both ultra-light and solid.
    According to MSI official website, the idea of design comes from the stealth fighter, so it shows dynamic streamline in its design. Beside the visual effect, it makes you feel comfortable when typing due to the slimmer front edge and solid palm rest. The high gloss finish and bright gold will reflect light, so it change color slightly in different lighting condition. Overall, it delivery supreme visual treat.
    To see a more apparent golden color, I put it on my sofa with yellow background.
    Shinging and charming….
    The fancy muscle curve and hire line surface make it elegant and gorgeous.  
    The shield and the MSI logo, they are delicated design without roughness.
    The black color keycap contrast with the golden chasis apparently.
    The touchpad looks cool as well, the material it made let the surface being anti-skidding and you wont leave your fingerprint on it.
    It has Dynaudio speaker and Steelseries keyboard these two famous brand as it high-end equipment. 4 channel speakers and comfortable tactile keyboard. Moreover, the Graphics card it equiped is GTX 970M,
    One of the lastest high-end Nvidia GTX graphics card. It is the first gaming notebook to equip GTX 970M .No doubt MSI regard themselves as the leader brand of gaming.
    Sound Blaster Cinema 2+Dyanudio, Bravo~~
    Let’s check the connectivity of this beauty.
    No ports but seried of cooling vents at the rear panel,in order to let air flow and palm rest feeling.
    being better.
    The left side of it located the microphone (line out) and headphone (line in) jack, two USB 3.0 ports, the power connector socket and a security port. Also the vent close to the rear panel. The metal golden jack can isolate much more noice and enhance the reality of music as not being distortion.
    The right side of GS60 located an USB 3.0 port, card reader, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI port, and GB LAN (RJ45). GS60 Ghost Pro can support 2 external moniotr with mini display and HDMI port. When playing PRG game, you can use the main one to play game, the other one can show a walkthrough. The last one, you can even use skype or outlook to connect others.
    The front side you can see the LED to show some fuction status. Such as the battary status and bloothtooth has been turned on or not..etc.
    From bottom of this notebook you can see the battery is not removable, I guess the idea probably come from iphone. In fact, I seldomly remove the battery when I using a laptop, unless it really heavy to carry. But this time, GS60 is not heavy, so it wont be a problem to me.
    I used the scaler to measure the actual weight and ruler to see how thin it is, the result cames out 19.95mm thin and 2.1kg weight. Is it really a gaming machine I used to think of?! Such an ultra-book style.
    As I know, all the gaming notebook used to be black and silver color, there are few gaming notebook with others color. MSI this time has find its way to make a breakthrough. Of course, the creative thinking and the adventurous action is what we need in gaming world!!  
    In a word, as you can see from the picture above ,the metallic feel of it is so attractive!!It is the most stylish and creative gaming notebook I have ever seen.
    All of above are the unboxing of hardware part.let’ talk about some function and feature of this treasure.
    Dragan Gaming Center which is preinstalled in this MSI laptop. With this application, you can monitor the status of the important elements in the system. You can also quick start a game or an utility through it.
    Fn+F7="Shift", according to the official website, the key can be used to change the mode of the notebook in 3 status, the default "Sport"mode、"Comfort" mode and "Green mode", it is a adjustment function to control the CPU and GPU workload in order to balance the performance and temperature
    Use "Shift" to switch the mode you prefer.
    Green- System locks both GPU and CPU chip temp.
    Comfort- System locks GPU chip temp and dynamic adjusts the GPU chip temp
    Sport- Defaut and without any control.
    I am not afraid about the high temperature and noise from fans, so I like to use the default one, Sport mode~
    If you are playing a game in the library, please do choose Green mode to keep the fan from being busy.
    The "Shift" is MSI exclusive function, the idea comes from the shifting gear in automobile.
    Here comes another interesting feature, which is called Killer Double Shot Pro.With this function,
    the GB LAN and Wireless LAN act like combined togather and user can acquire the bandwith from both.
    Killer Netwok Manager UI
    This network technology also offers you a smooth background when playing game, because you can set the gaming applications as higher priority to use the bandwith than others. What a bravo feature!!
    The highest resolution of GS60 Ghost Pro is 2880*1620 which is also called 3K,
    as you can see from the screenshot below, when playing game you gain much more visual delight.
    With the HDMI and mini display output, you can enjoy a 1+2 matrix display function.
    With the XSplit Gamecaster preintalled in GS60, you can share your game just in time through live streaming while playing it. however, I won't use this function because I don't wanna share my skill to the others, hahaha~~
    The Steal Series Engine, it is my favorite. You can set the keypress macro、text macro or lauch application just in one key. For example, while playing Leaque of Legend, we always need to press Q、W、E、R、T
    immediately, but with keypress macro function, you can trigger them just in one key. Quite convient, isn't it?
    You can also choose the color you want for the keyboard backlit with Steal Series Egine. This function shows the gaming feature indeed.  
    That's see the multi-color backlit of it. What a show off!!!
    Below is the hardware information showed by Nvidia Experience UI and GPU Z
    GeForce GTX 970M with DDR5 3G and I7-4710HQ!!
    I can't wait to see the 3D MARK 11 P score...
    Here it got P9272 at sport mode. Outstanding!!
    For 3D MARK Fire Strike, it got 6515 at sport mode. I have to say that GS60 Ghost Pro punches above its weight.
    The result of Valley Benchmark 1.0 is below, score 1560 and FPS is 37.3.
    Testing the Call of duty Ghost with FRAPS, while play the game, it goes smoothly and the fps showed at top-left is around 100~200. As you can see the delicated scenery and character there, it seems like act in the reality.
    The sequencial read of these two SSD is 1022MB/s, it features from the Super RAID technology. Applying the RAID 0 technical usually used in server into SSD to make the IOPS much better.
    Take a look at its outward appearance again, bring it oudoor to see its color under natural light.
    Fantastic~~
    I would like to say, the GS60 Ghost Pro Golden is Lamborghini in gaming laptop!! It will be all the rage.

    This year, GTX970M performance is even better than 880M, with GS60's slim design, I can only say the advance of technology is so amazing!!!

  • What is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?

    Buying a used iPad... what is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?
    Thanks

    An iPad 2 will do it...for awhile. Realize that it's seemingly on it's last legs as far as iOS updates go and performance will not be great enough for today's demanding games. Also realize that a big part of running apps smoothly is how much system RAM (the memory area that the apps actually run in) the device has. The iPad 2 has 512 MB which is adequate for most apps but not for some. The iPads above the iPad 2 all have 1 GB of system RAM and the iPad Air 2 has 2 GB.
    The time will come when the iPad 2 can no longer be updated past a certain iOS version (as the iPad 1 is) so it will be more difficult to keep up with apps that you want to be using. This will eventually happen to ALL devices so you'll have to judge if you want to be at the tail-end of iOS updates or at least have a bigger buffer with a newer iPad.

  • My android GPU performance is far more stable now!!!

    The other day my phone was updated to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), coincidently i was prompted for the Air2.7 update as soon as i rebooted.
    My Air app GPU performace stability has really improved a ton! I figure it was Air 2.7 update, but so far Adobe has not really claimed any GPU performace inhancements in Air2.7 (as far as i read it was mostly CPU performance).
    Previously I had good performance but after a few days of the phone being on, Air apps would not perform well, i would get intermittent rendering stutter in GPU mode. Eventually i would need to reboot the phone and it was good for a while, even if i had everything else closed out and high memory availble. It would only seem to be Air apps with the issue
    Since the update(s) my performance is rock solid! The difference is huge, if no GPU enhancments, perhaps 2.7 garbage collector update was just that great?
    Anyway i wanted to say
    1) Great job Adobe team!!
    2) It is possible that Android 2.2  (froyo) might just not perform as well or have slight memory managment issues.

    Which firmwar version do you have?. I have the 1.0633.18.01. RM-208. Perhaps the problem is a firmware version.
    My phone reboot automacally and it makes a lot of times during a call. That is very frustating. I´ve heared in other forums and in this forum that those stability problems are common in this phone.
    There could be 3 reason for the problem:
    1.- Firmware problem: Very easy to solve by Nokia. I believe that it is the cause of the problem (too many posts with stability problem to a hard problem)
    2.- Hardware bug of this model: That is imposible to solve. The doubt is that there are people that don´t have any problem (as you).
    3.- Hardware problem in this unit: If it is the cause I have to send it to NOKIA and be without my bussines phone for 20 days. That´s mean no blackberry mail, no contact (I have almost 1000 and there isn´t any tradicional phone or SIM that support that amount...)
    In the past I had a Imate SP3 with windows and didn´t had any problem with it (some times it makes strange but never interrumped me a call).
    So everybody can see that I´m "very happy" with this phone...
    PLEASE, NOKIA, PUBLISH NEW FIRMWARE FOR THE PHONE THAT SOLVE PROBLEMS.

  • FX-55 and NEO2-FIR and poor performance

    I just upgraded froma NEO-FIS2R using a Athlon 64 3200+ to a NEO2-FIR and a FX-55.
    I got it all working - only after finding out that the Promise controller isn't compatiible with the old Promise controller on the NEO2-FIR.
    First thing I did was do some benching - I spent over $1000 for the FX-55 and NEO2-FIR and was hoping to see some significant performance improvement.
    Unfortuneately I don't see it.  I've loaded the Performance options in the BIOS, made sure that DRAM settings were SPD (I have Mushkin Black LevelII DDR3500 matched dimms - supposed to do 2-2-2-5)
    Any advice at all?  I'm getting less than 5000 in 3DMark05 - and other like systems are over 6000.
    If I go too agressive on memory timing the system is really unstable.
    Are there known issues with the FX-55 and the NEO2-FIR?  Are there any rec'ds?
    Thanks.

    Have you run any program to test the cpu at 100% like super PI or the like?
    People just dont understand 3Dmark is a Graphics benchmark and a synthetic one at that. CPU tests in 3dmark account for so little and there are so many variables that can affect the test like drivers, OS, BIOS settings, programs in the background that  I dont consider 3dmark a  worthy benchmark for machine power except for GPU performance.
    Use something else like SUper PI, or Sandra, to see how much Horseporwer your machine really has.

  • HT4437 What is difference between air play and home sharing if you just want to show iPhoto's on HD tv through apple tv (just purchased MacBook Air and Apple tv)

    What is difference between air play and home sharing when wanting to show photos on HD tv through apple tv?  Just bought Mac book air and apple tv. 

    You would have to use home-sharing if streaming from a computer. Computer would need to be on and running iTunes.

    Airplay would be useful if streaming from an IOS device

    I purchased three autobooks from itunes last weekend and after updating my ios to 7 they no longer appear. I looked at my purchse history and they are not showing in my purchase history. I do have the receipts for the charge. How do I restore these?

    "I did make a full back up of my phone prior to updating the iOS"
    Itunes content is not incliuded in the backup that itunes performs.
    Audiobooks are not part of icloud and cannot be redownloaded.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.

  • TS3274 iPad iOS 7.0.2 does not Trust to iTunes [11.1.1(11)] on MacBook Air 10.8.5 to iPad iOS 7.0.2

    When trying to link iTunes [11.1.1(11)] on MacBook Air 10.8.5 to iPad iOS 7.0.2, even when I choose TRUST fails to connect indicating that my computer does not have permission. Even I choose TRUST, i end up with "iTunes could not connect to this iPad. You do not have permission." This is a new MacBook Air and i have recently migrated from MacBook Pro. It seems that there is a solution for this on PC but I am failing to find a thread on my specific problem. I can access to my photos and the iPad does charge. So the problem appears to be one of iTunes. I tried all the basic fixes of turning on/off both devices. I also used Disk Repair Utility to verify and repair permission—to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply :-),
    I think I read the instructions carefully and understood that this upgrade applies only to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and up. I only have Lepord 10.5.8 on a MacBook Intel Duo Core.
    Can I do this upgarde as well?
